Stuck between two colors

Ok, I will be painting my car as soon as I'm done with the mechanical work, but I need to make a decision soon so I can paint the engine bay. I'm trying to decide between milennium yellow with black racing stripes, or painting the whole thing Navy Blue Metallic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you're gonna go yellow, go with the factory yellow. I used to think it looked kinda faded, now it's one of my favorite colors.

Blue is cool too.

I like yellow.

It's an 88 Camaro SC that is being redone over summer with a carbed 350 and I think I'm going to go with a Richmond overdrive six-speed. Thanks for the suggestions guys. And about the factory yellow, I think that would have to grow on me, it's just a little too dull for me.

Yellow... you NEVER see yellow 3rdgen cars around, but almost all are some sorta blue.

Be different

And plus, yellow is sexy

That's what I'm leaning towars, but my girlfriend wants me to paint it blue. Oh well, I guess if she doesn't like the color I paint it she can drive around in her own car. Thanx for the opinions guys it's really helping me out.

I would definately go with Yellow

Just my .02

Yellow would be great as long as your not a speed demon. You know you're going to stick out like a sore thumb and cops will see you coming a mile away. If you can keep your foot off the gas then yellow all the way. I had debated this myself, but I speed too much and around here I'd be getting tickets all the time if I had a yellow car.

I definately have a lead foot at times, but Vegas isn't horribly bad with cops, and PPL takes care of most tickets, so the cop thing isn't a really big issue, with all the work I'm putting into this car I want it to be noticed anyway.
